RE: Arriva North East
Some things today:

'Great... Park and Ride' branded 1767 (NK05 GWF) has been on the 43.
Many buses have gained a new brand for 'Coast and Castles Connections' services 501, 505 and 518
4522 (W298 PPT) has been on the 685.

RE: Arriva North East
Any ideas on the type of vehicles that have had this branding applied?

RE: Arriva North East
This very basic one.

A very basic, but very effective, branding. Mainly so far the VDL DB250/Darwen Lowlander 7455/6 and AlexanderDennis Enviro400 7507/8.

Also, we should expect a new 'Coastliner' branding for the 306/308 in the near future, going on the fact this new C&C Branding is the same as on the latest timetable leaflet.

Darlington's Enviro400 7519 has just been removed from beneath the Cornmill Centre bridge on Priestgate having brought the town to a standstill after it got wedged while running out of service.

4070 has now entered service at Redcar (photo from Wednesday, forgot to mention that as well the other day). However, 1658 remains in service, for now at least.

Arriva have begun displaying information regarding the closure of Middlesbrough Bus Station during the summer:

*Services 21a, X1, X6, X66 and X93 will use the temporary Bus Station in Denmark Street Car Park (opposite the Bus Station, behind Sainsbury's) at all time
*Most Services will use their normal Town Centre stops on Albert Road and Grange Road though some services will be using Corporation Road
*Services 5b, 17c, 22a, 64b, 627 and 631/632 as well as evening and Sunday services will use both Denmark Street Bus Station and the Town Centre
*No details have been included regarding the X3/X4 and 64/a

The Teesside Service changes take place the week before the closure, fun all around effectively.

Will most buses now be using Denmark Street bus station? If so, I might go to Middlesbrough this year after all!

I looked at your Flickr photo above, and came across a picture of a Dart on route X5 as highlighted below. I am shocked if these regularly work route X5, as this may make it harder to ride a leather-seated OmniCity on that route.
